It's not bad but technique is an issue. It does require a lot of slurry and a very light touch. It's not as consistent as the Escher on the polish. It's not as forgiving as the Escher on technique and overall it's more difficult to use than the Escher.

It can't be porn. It's only 8" long. Real porn needs much longer ones.....

If any of you are old enough to have read Julius Ceasar's "De Bello Gallico" (About The War in Gaul) in school (Gaul in those days included Northern Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Western Germany, Austria, & Switzerland) Considerable military, tatical, and political interest was given by the Romans for "provinces" and areas that produced basic, strategic raw materials for war making, ie. leather, cloth, iron, stone, salt, grain, etc... and significant mention was made of Belgian/German mines & quarries that produced stones & cement for road building, fort building, etc... AND the sharpening of swords, arrows, and knives!

I guess it's noteworthy that 2,000 years ago our humble Coticule, Escher, & Thuringen "magic stones" were a vital strategic military and political resource.

All the best, guys...
